Communications Minister Samuel Nartey George urges Commonwealth states to coordinate positions at ITU PP-26 in Doha as Ghana seeks ITU Council re-election.
The Commonwealth ITU Group, chaired by Ghana, has called for coordinated support and cooperation among member states at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Plenipotentiary Conference 2026 (PP-26) in Doha, Qatar. Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, highlighted the importance of collective action to advance shared interests in global telecommunications and digital policies, particularly focusing on issues affecting developing countries and underserved populations.
With about two billion people still unconnected globally, the Commonwealth aims to use its collective voice to influence decisions promoting universal connectivity, digital inclusion, and equitable access to emerging technologies. The group emphasized the need to focus on common ground, identify areas requiring coordinated positions, and develop a clear plan of action to strengthen the group's influence throughout the conference.
